About Hoan Kiem Lake

Hoan Kiem Lake, located in the heart of Hanoi, Vietnam, is a peaceful and iconic landmark deeply rooted in the city’s history and legends. Known as the “Lake of the Returned Sword,” it is associated with the myth of Emperor Le Loi, who returned a magical sword to the Golden Turtle God in its waters after defeating Chinese invaders. The lake is surrounded by tree-lined walkways, making it a popular spot for morning exercises, casual strolls, and cultural events. At its center lies the ancient Turtle Tower, and nearby is the stunning Ngoc Son Temple, connected by the iconic red Huc Bridge. Hoan Kiem Lake blends natural beauty, spirituality, and history, offering both locals and tourists a serene escape from Hanoi’s bustling streets. It is a must-visit cultural gem.

My Vietnam adventure with Viacation was honestly one of the best decisions I've ever made! Vietnam itself is absolutely breathtaking—humne din bhar woh khoobsurat mountains enjoy kiye jo bilkul paintings jaise lagte hain, aise views jo literally rukke dekhte reh jao aur bas life ka maza le lo. But it wasn’t just peaceful views—thanks to muskan. Imagine – vibrant city lights, delicious Vietnamese food, aur full-on masti jo subha tak chalti thi! Har din ek perfect mix tha — exploration and adventure dono ka.
